Yes that’s what I’m doing. I am planning of dropping out the crank with the flywheel attached. My challenge now is cutting off the retainer ring behind the cam so I can get the front plate off of the engine so the crank can drop out.

Stuck pistons are bad but when the cam and lifters are rusted in it becomes a real struggle. The lifters are so rusted in their bores I don’t think I will be able to get the cam out.
